Beneath tbe rich soil iugardens where the delicate vegetablesare growin < networks ol' invisible wiresare laid, collecting aud distributing? the atmospheric electricity to all theplants.In the forcing-houses similar arrangements are made for stimulatingthe winter vegetables and flowers forthe market, while overhead powerfularc lights inakeihe night as brilliantnc day and help to mature the plantgrowths in half the regular time required by nature. I the lields ofwheat and corn the tore powerfulcurrents from a stor: o houso workout similar results, keening the season of growth and doubling the yieldper acre. Excessive drought and thedanger from late and early frosts arethus partly avoided on the electricfarm, while, if necessary, two cropscan be raised in one season whereformerly only one could be grown.The electric power that the farmerhas at his command euables him toregulato tho growth of his plants tosuit tho season or thc markets. Oneportion of the garde? eau be forced,while the other half is kept back several weeks.There is no limit to the uso of thenew invisible power which he gathersfrom tho atmosphere around him orgenerates from the wasted forces ofthe neighboring stream of water.This leads to the examination of thesource of tho. new power that propelsthe machinery on the farm.A small Btream of water that formerly flowed across the farm in anirregular course, fertilizing the lowermeadows and irrigatiug the uplanddistricts, hus been widened nud deepened near its source, forming a largestorage reservoir. This arli?cial pondhas been dammed at its lower end,aud as the water tumbles over theopeu water gates it turns several turbine wheels."These wheels do not move the machinery of a flour mill but constantlymanufactn-.o electricity for use on thefarm. Ly means of the huge storagereservoir the work of making electricity can go on through the diyestseason, for the water power nevegives out and the electric power isalways ready to do its work. Fromthis storago house the motive poweris conducted to all parts of the farra.The forcing houses for winter plantsare connected with tho power housesby overhead wires similar to thosewhich disfigure the city* streets fortrolley lines. The great bara andliving houso are lighted by electric lights that get their source ofenergy in the same place. Movablecables radiate from the same storagehouses to every parc of the lields audto those electric motors are attached forperforming the various labors assignedto them by the inventive genius ofman.The electric' machinery worked bythe motors is full of interest Hereare huge plows that turn over six furrows of fresh soil at once, hayracksand reapers which perform their duties automatically, electric weed killers and fertilizers, corn huskers andshellers, hay choppers and giganticthreshiug and fanning mills. Elecvehicles rush across" the extensivefields with loads of grain, hay or vegetables, moving their broad tires without di?iculty over the rough and uneven surface, and behind tho plowsand arrows the automatic seeders follow in close succession, dropping thecorn, wheat or other seed at regularintervals" in the froshly-turned furrows. Everything is performed bymachinery, guided by disciplinedhands and propelled by the now motive power that has caused all therevolution.There aro two general types of theseelectric plows which will serve toillustrate tho general principle ofoperation in each class. The firsttype is propelled by a fixed motor.The field selected for plowing is divided into sections of exactly the samewidth ul' the cable used for pulling thoplows. A heavy, powerful electricmotor ou wheels is stationed on eachside of tho field, and a strong cableconnects thom. This cable winds andind unwinds upon a spool as tho machinery is set in motion. To this?rabie the plow, which is capable oflimning from three to six furrows ofnoil at once, is firmly attached. Whenlibe electric motor ou the side of thofield is set in motion it winds up thecabio and drags tho plow toward it,sind when it reaches that side of thefield it turns around and the reverseaction Of {hVotbeVmotor repeats theoperation.The secondtype of electric plow isrun by a movable motor attached tothe plow itseitr-.jThe cable is fixed toau anchorfpn\?h^/.opposite side of thefield and/"tho electric motor followsthis calile, d. nggiug the heavy plowwith it. Even tito weeding is accomplished by electricity. The force thatstimulates plant growth and gives motive power to all the machinery eaualso kill aud destroy. Electrocutionis applied to the weeds just as successfully as to j?risoners in our jails.The delicate current of electricity maygive life and vigor to plaut life, buta powerful current destroys everygorm of lite, auimal or vegetable. Inthe sj'?iug of the year tho new weeddestroyer goes over the field and annihilates weeds, insects aud larva?.As the vehicle moves along aseries olmany wire brushes drags on the ear tland kills everything that comes ircontact with it. A field overgrow!with rank weeds can thus be comparatively cleared in a- remarkablyshort time of every noxious growth.Death i's just as sure and sudden asif each plaut received a lightniugstr ''ko from the summer clouds. Th(weeder goes over the field after astorm, so that the wot. stalks will acas moio. perfect conductors. Thor?comos from Buda-Pesth tbe first electrie tree destroyer.

Cmo Was NotAfraid to Oivo lt.The best looking girl in the Pinemountain country was Susan Natter,and Susan was extremely, not to snyfoolishly, fond of Jim Davis, a youngman who wai my chief timbermau inthe season, and who owned and conducted a good farm iu the river bottom as a side issue. Jim was thecatch of the mountains, and, likeother men in that happy class, he wascareless and stood a fair chance oflosing what ought to be hiB becausehe was too sure of it. Susan wasjust the girl for him, but he had almost worn out her patience by hisdilly-dallying policy, and one day Ithought the end had surely come, andit was all up with Jim, who was a favorite of mine as a winner of the Susanstaked."I want to see the best dress pattern you got in the store, colouel,"she said to me as I sat out in front ofthe commissary ono day, "and bein'mighty pertickelor I waut ypu to waiton me," she added with a smirk notusual to Susan."Oh, indeed," I said chnffiiugly,goiug around behiud the counter,"something must be goiug to happen?""I reckon thar is," abo admitted,frauklv."Good for you," I laughed "andI'm glad that Jim baa got his usesat last.""Jim?" she suiffed disdaii "v."'Tain't Jim cz fer ez I kuow."Not Jim ?" I almost shoufor Jim was my chosen for her. '..Jim? Well, who is it ?""Oh, that's fer me to know and 3 outo find ont, colonel," she laughed provokingly, and gave mo no further satisfaction. Sho bought the goods audwent away, and two hours later Jimcame in.from work and said he wasgoing over tho mouutaiu that nigbtwith one of tb0 Martiu girls to a dance."By the way, Jim," I said, "didyou know Susau Natter was goiug toget married?""Thunderation, colonel, no," heblurted out. "Ker she ain't, is she?""I guess she is. I sold her a wedding dress this afternoon and she toldme she was. ""Who's she goin' ter marry, colouel?" he asked, anxiously."I don't know. She wouldn't tellme.""Well, she'll tell me, colonel," hesaid, with tho lines getting hard acrosshis face, and little wriukles of doubtand fear showing between. Jim wasfaoing a possibility that had never presented itself to him in its hill strength.He went out of the store and up theroad leading to old mau Natter's place.The next morning he stopped at thcstore on his way to work."Did you find out who it was?" Iasked him at once, for I was interested more thau he had been."Course I did," he answered, withconfidence."Who is it?""Me," and he laughed the shortlaugh of the man who hal been madeto do what he knew be should havedone, and what he most wanted-to do."Ob," I exclaimed, "is that it ?"Aud later I discovered that Susan haddevised a pretty little feminine schemeto bring Jim to the point, and by myunwitting, but by uo means unwilling, assistauce she had succeededfully.T*. Hopkinson Smith's Clothcn.F. Hopkiuaou Smith lectured out inKeokuk the other day, aud uow thepeople of tho favored city, and of thewhole state of Iowa, for that matter,are worrying over llie question whether Mr. Smith has or has not a "dresssuit." They know that On the evening of the lecture he wore a gray traveling suit that bagged at tho kuees,but ho explained this by saying thathis trunk had goue astray, aud thenhe told a channing story about goingonce to see llarriet Beecher Stowe,discovering on his return that ho hadworn no necktie, aud then sendingher by mail the scarf he should haveworn if he had not forgotten it.The explanation and tho story wouldhave tecu i eceive:l without questionby the Keokukians had it not beon forthe fact that in Mr. Smith's audiencewas a young lady with a memory.This inconvenient person declaresthat she heard Mi: Smith iu Ohicagca year ago, and she avers that he thenappeared iu the same traveling snitand told precieely the same story inprecisely tho same words.

"Thank you." For,example, this Is. the conversation thattakes place when a customer comes in."Have you any canned tomatoes?""Yes, ma'am, thank you," says thered-che?ked boy."You may send me a cnn.""Thank you," says the boy, makinga note of lt."And a pound of crackers." (Yousee, the customer was American.)"Thank you?" says the boy, with aquestion mark in the word and a puzzled look on his apple face. "Beg pardon, ma'am, er-we don't have "em.""Why, those are crackers rightthere.""Oh," says the boy. "Thank you!Beg pardon! You see, we call 'embiscuits. Anything else?""That will be all.""Thank you.""How much will it be?""Fl'p'nce ha'p'ny and elghtp'nceha'p'ny ls one ana two-thank you."When the customer hands bira hertwo-shilling pioce he says, "Thankyou; much obliged," and when hehands her bnck the sixpence and twohuge pennies in change he says"Thank you" again, and as you passout he says "Thank you; muchobliged.""That boy may be a little more actively thankful than the average, bulnot much.When the 'bus conductor (there artno el?ctric-'cnrs Mn London) comesaround to collect tho passenger's farehe often say? "Thank you." Instead olsaying," "Fare, please." and, of coursehe says "T?mn?

J v ViSQU?N?INO EY??,[lie Observations of aa English Specialist ?iaThis Subject.In a learned paper on the anbject of.'onv.rrgent strabismus bj*. ProfessorPriestly Smith, which constitute theoat Bowman lecture of toe OpthalfflolOglcal'SocIety, lt ls stated that theinset of strabismus is often attributed tb a" fit, a fright, a fall or othersuch, occurrence, and still mof? offenio aii illness; such as whooping coughbr measles. Making allowance for thefrequency of such events among children and for a-certain disregard oftime nnd sequence In tholr elders, itseems to me, sitys Professor Smith,highly probable that these supposedcauses are very often real Causes*Some such explanation of the onsetwas given, with show Qt tens?n,- inmore than two-lifths of my cases, andthe proportion would no doubt have,been nigher had not many of the patients been brought by persons whoknew nothing of their antecedents.ifi many case's the history Wds definite nnd hot to be iipset by cross-ex;ami?atlo?; For example a child who"had never been seen to squint beforecame from school squinting badly, having that morning been put Into thecorner with a cloth over her h'edd. Another did the same immediately afterhaving his head pushed Into d bucketof water by his brother; another aftersitting In scalding water; another afterbeing terrified by a monkey whichjumped on to her shoulder. No lessdear In many cases was the historyof onset during measles, whoopingcough ol* othef constitutional disorders.All these are Conditions which maygravely disturb the nervous system.Shock, anger or apprehension Impairthe control of muscular actlod. Theycause the knees tb shake, the voice totremble and even the hand of the ophthalmic surgeon to become Unsteady.Febrile disorders cause delirium, convulsions and sometimes transient strabismus and leave the nervous systemexhausted. Is lt not highly probablethat such disorders occurring in youngchildren may Interrupt the action ofthese higher centres which controltho movements of the eyes, and thisnot only where control Is already difficult by reason of amblyopia or errorof refraction, but even in childrenwhose visual apparatus is normal fortheir time o' life, but not yet fully developed? The old idea that the squinting child needs a little skillful surgeryand nothing more ls dying out.
